Neuromuscular Respiratory Failure
Neurologic Clinics, 2021Neuromuscular respiratory failure can result from any disease that causes weakness of bulbar and/or respiratory muscles. Once compensatory mechanisms are overwhelmed, hypoxemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure ensues. The diagnosis of neuromuscular respiratory failure is primarily clinical, but arterial blood gases, bedside spirometry, and ...

Mechanical Ventilation to Minimize Progression of Lung Injury in Acute Respiratory Failure.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2017Mechanical ventilation is used to sustain life in patients with acute respiratory failure. A major concern in mechanically ventilated patients is the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury, which is partially prevented by lung-protective ventilation ...

A cough, then respiratory failure
The Lancet, 2000A 72-year-old man with long-standing, moderate kyphoscoliosis went to an accident and emergency department in February, 1997 after choking on some soup. After a fit of violent coughing in the department, he had a respiratory arrest and required intubation and subsequent ventilation in the intensive-care unit.

Bronchoscopy in Respiratory Failure
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972To the Editor.— Dr. Renz and associates deserve congratulations for their ingenious method of maintaining ventilation during bronchoscopy with a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope (219:619,1972). The author has used a similar technique which may be somewhat simpler.

Medical Clinics of North America, 1983
The diseases which are commonly complicated by hypercapnic respiratory failure also compromise the respiratory muscles in several ways. Increased work of breathing, mechanical disadvantage, neuromuscular disease, impaired nutritional status, shock, hypoxemia, acidosis, and deficiency of potassium, magnesium, and inorganic phosphorus are the major non ...

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2002
The classic entity of neonatal distress syndrome, as a lung disease expressing predominant surfactant deficiency, is currently changing to a more complex disease of the developing lung as a result of the number of extremely immature preterm infants.

Acute respiratory failure is defined clinically by hypoxaemia (PaO2 <8 kPa, normal range 10–13.3 kPa) with (type 2) or without (type 1) hypercapnia (PaCO2 >6.5 kPa). It is one of the most common problems afflicting the severely ill patient and often necessitates intensive care unit admission....

Management of Respiratory Failure
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2016The management of acute respiratory failure varies according to the etiology. A clear understanding of physiology of respiration and pathophysiological mechanisms of respiratory failure is mandatory for managing these patients. The extent of abnormality in arterial blood gas values is a result of the balance between the severity of disease and the ...

Extracorporeal Life Support for Adults With Respiratory Failure and Related Indications: A Review.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2019Importance The substantial growth over the last decade in the use of extracorporeal life support for adults with acute respiratory failure reveals an enthusiasm for the technology not always consistent with the evidence. However, recent high-quality data,

Postoperative Respiratory Failure
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2006This analysis differentiates the causes of postoperative respiratory failure. Respiratory failure in thoracic patients is broken down into two distinct groups, aspiration and pneumonia, promoting actions to prevent respiratory failure. The goal is to develop different strategies to avoid postoperative respiratory failure using an active approach (what ...
